Dustin ‘Dusty’ Russo (32) doesn’t mind winding down after a long day landscaping with a cheeky cone before the homeowners return but today decided against helping himself to four inches of their garden hose, upon discovering it was a patented Hoselink system.
Not averse to making a bong using a bit of a client’s hose, often using their own secateurs to do so, Russo claims the entrepreneurial spirit that drives Hoselink turned him off modifying the product.
“I thought about that old fella in the ads and he’s a battler just like me you know? I wouldn’t be able to look him in the eyes again if I pinched a bit of hose from him.”
Hoselink is an Australian gardening supplies company who rose to popularity due to their innovative adverts featuring the CEO and his family talking about how good they reckon their products are.
Strong in the belief a bit or marijuana is the perfect way to celebrate completing a six-day job in just eight days, it was the memory Hoselink founder Tim Kierath’s reassuring smile that turned Russo off helping himself to a length of his client’s Hoselink hose.
Russo claims this was not an easy decision to make, considering he already had an empty bottle of Maximus ready, as well as a cone piece he constructed out of the foil that contained his peanut butter sandwich earlier that day.
“Whatever, sometimes you’ve got to do the responsible thing. Any of youse got papers?”
